Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned Walkthrough & Strategy Guide

It's pretty clear that the recently-sprung Billy is a man out of control. You won't need any more evidence of this than when you go to the clubhouse to speak with Billy and end up getting this mission. After yet another confrontation between Johnny and Billy, some "deadbeats" show up outside. When the crew heads on outside to see what's going on, they find a trio of rival gang members from the Angels of Death attempting to crash the party. When one gets smart with Billy, he puts a bullet point-blank in his back. And then his friends scamper off. It's up to you to catch up.

The drive is a relatively leisurely one, simply because you're in such a huge group of bikers (and are chasing such a huge group of bikers), that's it's essentially impossible to get lost or not keep up. Plus, you and your crew are represented as blue dots on the HUD, while your enemies have red arrows over them and are represented on the HUD as red dots. You'll have the option, en route, of using your sawed-off shotgun on enemies in front of you. This is a good idea, and the game seems to encourage you to do so by making a biker or two fall behind the rest of the group and attack you here and there. But, this leaves you susceptible to being damaged by enemy fire and runs the risk of shooting and killing a friendly, which will result in an automatic mission failure.

Whether or not you thinned out the enemy ranks is irrelevant to where the fight will end up -- a lot off of Union Drive West on the western edge of Algonquin. If you thinned the enemy ranks, then you'll have to deal with less foes here, but either way, you're going to have your hands full. An interesting technique to employ at the outset of the mission is to go to the overpass overlooking the lot. Fill the cars below full of gunfire and watch them light up and explode, taking some thugs with them. Then, drive down off of the overpass and seek refuge behind one of the concrete support beams, laying into the enemy contingent once you're nice and safe. When all are dead, scour their bodies for some valuable ammunition. In addition to your sawed-off, you should now have a pistol to tote as well.

When the dust has settled, your crew will take off, reestablishing itself at an overpass off of Beaverhead Avenue at the far north end of Algonquin. Get back on your bike and head over to their location to finish this mission off.
